² By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

⁶ But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

⁹ Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

¹⁸ For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

¹⁷ Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

¹⁴ For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

²³ If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

⁸ For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

⁴ Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
